I look for your deliverance, LORD. The brief interjection of prayer in the middle of the tribal blessings is Jacob's prayer amid his prophetic speech — the cry of the covenant person who, even in the act of blessing, turns to God. The application: the prayer that erupts in the middle of significant speech is the prayer of the person who knows that everything said depends on the God being invoked.
